ABOUT ME
I am a multimedia fluid artist based in Staffordshire, United Kingdom. While I have been exploring flowing abstract techniques since 2016, my creative background spans over 25 years as a graphic designer and photographer.
I work full-time as a tattoo artist and own a studio (Babylon Tattoo) at the former Spode pottery site in Stoke-on-Trent. Unfortunately this leaves me with less time to paint but continues to influence and enrich my artistic practice.
My work centres on single-pour acrylic pieces created on canvas or wood. Using carefully balanced combinations of paints and pouring mediums, I approach each piece with a scientific mindset - embracing the chemistry behind the process while allowing the results to remain entirely organic and unpredictable. No two artworks are ever alike, and each piece is truly impossible to replicate.
​
As a self-taught artist, I have developed my techniques through years of experimentation; supported by a vibrant community of fellow artists, particularly within online groups where I have also contributed as an administrator.
I was first drawn to acrylic pouring after discovering the work of artists such as Emma Lindstrom and Arthur Brouthers. After a five-year break from painting, I found myself unexpectedly captivated by abstract art - something I had previously overlooked during my formal education at college and university. Since then, I have fully embraced its expressive and immersive nature.
​
My current work moves away from traditional cellular effects, focusing instead on creating organic textures that evoke celestial bodies, constellations, and the night sky. Increasingly, I am combining abstract fluid techniques with elements of realism; hand-painting tree silhouettes and landscapes to create a dialogue between chaos and control.
​
Looking ahead, I aim to further explore texture and scale, developing larger, more immersive abstract works that continue to blur the boundaries between science, spontaneity, and storytelling.
